Sample Answer
I’ve implemented and used Oracle E-Business Suite (Projects), Deltek Costpoint, SAP PS/CO and Viewpoint for 150+ users across field and finance teams. Typical configuration: a WBS-driven job structure with standardized cost codes and GL mappings, labor burden rules, and subcontract encumbrance workflows. For billing I set up milestone and percentage-billed templates, retainage functionality and AR triggers tied to certified billings. WIP reporting used daily feeds into a WIP cube that drove month-end rollforwards and drillable variance reports; automated eliminations and accruals reduced manual WIP adjustments by about 70%. I also configured role-based dashboards so PMs see committed costs and finance sees contract revenue recognition flags, which sped dispute resolution and improved billing timeliness by 30%.
